SSC Stenographer 2022 PYQ — Question 187

SSC Stenographer - 18 Nov 2022 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q187

Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the given sets. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding /subtracting /multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)

(111, 117, 123) (169, 200, 231)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. (125, 135, 145).

The logic used here is:

(111, 117, 123)

111 + 123 = 234

234 ÷ 2 = 117

(169, 200, 231)

169 + 231 = 400

400 ÷ 2 = 200

Similarly,

(125, 135, 145)

125 + 145 = 270

270 ÷ 2 = 135

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
